This Was Not Meant To Last Lyrics by Great Error

Cloud

2012

I see you across the bar
Sipping ginger and jack
Contemplating the bartender
Buff, butch and black
In a stupor i stumble up
Like i'm on crack
And you smile
And i freeze
Now i am caught
With my tongue on permanent display
While my head scrambles
For something witty to say
But i can’t think of shit
I see you later
Two weeks after i drop the ball
We say hi
Say goodbye
And look back when we're walking away
In opposite directions
I inquire later how you could possibly
Be interested in me
Then there's the wedding
The flowers, the pеople, the rings
Two canaries togеther
I whine and you sing
This is not going to last
I organize an attack
On my identity
I create holograms of myself
Just to see what you’d do
If i ran around naked in a mall
Would you think less of me
I see the signs passing by
With swift kicks to my head
I ignore them
We spend all our time in the bed
Until even attraction is useless and dead
Then we call it a draw
Now we don't talk
We don't fuck
We don't carpool to work
You call me unromantic
I call you a jerk
All of this is your fault
You're sending the signal
As you light your cigarette
What i want
What i don't
You suddenly forget
Your role here is as a punchline
I'll never get
Have a wink and a smile
Take photographs while you can
Soon the doors will be closed
Come again
Don't forget to forget me as you go
This was not meant to last
